About this file

This document is a sole source justification for marking and tagging services for winter-run Chinook salmon. The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission will provide marking and tagging of juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon at Coleman National Fish Hatchery Complex facilities from January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024. PSMFC possesses the unique expertise required to operate the specialized state-of-the-art AutoFish marking and tagging systems owned by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which are used by all state and federal hatcheries in the Central Valley. No alternative sources are reasonably available due to the high costs of purchasing automated equipment and conducting manual marking. The justification and certification was approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold.

Contracting Officer

Text3: PSMFC personnel have specialized technical expertise in the operation of the state-of-the-art AutoFish tagging systems, and no other contractor can provide personnel with the unique technical expertise to operate the Autofish tagging systems. Because of the unique expertise required to operate the Autofish tagging systems, the California Department of Fish and game require that PSMFC staff be the only contractor permitted to operate their Autofish marking and tagging systems.
Text2: Marking and tagging of juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon are accomplished using sophisticated state-of-the-art patented AutoFish marking and tagging systems, which enable processing of larger numbers of fish quickly and with improved precision as compared to the traditional method of conducting these tasks manually. The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) personnel have specialized technical expertise in the operation of the state-of-the-art AutoFish tagging systems, and no other contractor can provide personnel with the unique technical expertise to operate the Autofish tagging systems. The Autofish tagging systems being used in California are shared among all of the State and Federally operated hatcheries in the Central Valley, and are the property of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Text1: Marking and tagging juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery Complex and associated fish rearing facilities.
Text4: To offer this contract to full and open competition would necessitate that the Service purchase an automated fish marking trailer at a cost of approximately $1.5 million. Because of the high cost, this option is not currently being pursued.
Text6: Marking/tagging fish using manual techniques is the only alternative to marking/tagging with the automated system, and would result in a significant increase in program costs. The costs for this services remains stable compared to previous years' contracts for the same service, and is hereby considered fair and reasonable.
